I've been on a bit of a roll lately, so here's everything I've done in the past week. I really can't believe how quick I'm going through these, but that just means I need to think of another big pattern to slow me back down. The first one I made as a gift to my boyfriend. He works as a Database Admin. so I wanted something for his office. The original idea came from Futurama, and it translates from programmer speak into "Home Sweet Home".

The next one I finished in a weekend. It's the N7 logo from Mass Effect. I was using up a scrap of fabric I had and needed something small so this was perfect.

The last one I finished is very close to my heart, and yes, it's Portal! I guess I just can't help myself, poor companion cube.

I really love Portal. Really, really love Portal. So I'm kind of surprised at myself that this is the first pattern I've stitched up for it. I found this somewhere on the internet and fell in love with the idea. I always felt bad about the poor companion cube and I think this is a good way to express that. I'm waiting with anticipation for Portal 2, but in the mean-time I suppose that this will do!

So I want to go off the beaten path for a little to tell you all some wonderful news! Portal is free! Now I know you're all thinking "What does that have to do with cross stitch?" Well...nothing, but I did make an honorary Portal Cake pattern to celebrate the awesome news. Now go out and download! Free Portal!

After rediscovering an art taught to me by my grandmother, I decided to use it in the best way possible. By taking all of my favorite video game and comic book characters and immortalizing them in cross stitch forever!
